Hey Frank, If the "other" wheel company can't give me an answer today and we order new wheels I think this here is the ticket :unibrow:
Matte black center, gloss black outer with a red pinstripe. I'll have the big red brake caliper and I'll paint the Baer 6s in gloss black.

Thank you! I'm watching your build too and man that facility of yours is top notch my friend :hail:

Looking really good Chris.:thumbsup:
I really like the seats, and those wheels,.......:wow::cheers:

My office has been flooded this week with parts being delivered. I think we now have everything in except the wheels which were just ordered this week so it wll be a few more weeks before they arrive. We have everything completed that we've been working on so far and will be rolling it into the assembly area this afternoon to start putting IT back together. The firewall, inner fenders and radiator core were all painted with matte black and it looks really cool :unibrow: Here's a few more pics....

Its looking good.

Very nice. Parts arriving is a good thing.:thumbsup:

Thanks guys, I'm already starting to loose sleep thinking about how bad I wanna get this thing done and I'm still weeks away!

We know have the front subframe bolted in, painted the motor in VHT enamel "aluminum" and were going to paint the air cleaner, thermostat housing and valve covers matte black to accent the drive system and were having the headers jet coated black as well.

:thumbsup:

I miss that car!! nice to see your turning it into exactly what I wanted to!!!

Sweet, that aluminum big block was a little cheaper than mine. :rofl:

Thats looking sweet! If your going to loose sleep thats a good reason.

I bet you do, it's really a clean car and all we found was a little surface rust on the passenger floor pan. This truly is a "clean" car!

"a little"?!? It was actually free since it came with the car ;) Thanks again for the info on the paint :thumbsup:

Thanks Wayne!!!

Can't wait for this bad boy to be complete. Nice build Chris.:thumbsup:

Neither can I :D and Thanks!

Just got in my pedal assembly from Clayton Machine Works and all I can say is WOW, these things look amazing!!! :unibrow:

Killer build man...cant wait to see it done. I LOVED your other car...:hail:

Very nice build! Keep the pics coming. Can you send me the info on the paint you used on the engine? Im building a 69 with 396 for my wife and would love to paint block in alum color.

Valve covers look very good also.

You paying in 20's again Chris?? lol

I got a fake one I need to replace, lol

Car is looking great buddy, glad you could do what I couldn't afford to do , lol

We used VHT Enamel, color was "aluminum".

LOL! Still have a few in my safe but have'nt run across anymore of those. Guess as luck would have it you ended up with the only one :lol: I'm going to try and make a few of those events you'll be at and if not I'm sure i'll see you at a Goodguys show so I guess then dinner will be on me :cheers:

Received an email from Frank last night letting me know my wheels are on the way :thumbsup: They'll be here Tuesday so I guess that means I won't be sleeping much since i'm so damn stoked to see these bad boys :unibrow: It's gonna be a longgggggg weekend!

Also want to thank Frank and Forgeline for getting these out so fast :hail:

Nice build, man..... car is looking great!

Very cool. You know we need to see pics of those bad boys when you get them!!:thumbsup: :cheers:

And I thought I liked black....:thumbsup:

WOW!! :wow: Those look killer Chris.
Very nice man.:thumbsup:

Those wheels are SIIIIIIICK!!! im jealous.:cheers:

Yeah, probably 8 out of the last 10 of my cars have been black :unibrow:

Thank you! Hopefully I'll have a few pics of them on the car soon :_paranoid


Thanks man :thumbsup: And my wheels may be SIIIIIIICK but dude, your car....:hail:

I'm not a fan of all black wheels, but have to agree that those are very, very sick. I think the hardware and pinstripe break it up nicely. :thumbsup:

very nice wheels Im jealous pinching pennies now for some new shoes gonna have to pinch harded now.

nice shoes !

Very nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cheers:

Sweet looking wheels.

I love them. Is it all powered coated or are the centers anodized

I'm loving the WHEELS!

Loving the wheels, the two finishes with tone on tone looks awesome.
